Hi it's me your humble servant Tink, the yaoi pixxie. Just a few little
Warnings for this mini monster (it was originally supposed to be a one-
shot, now I foresee at least 8 chapters) Ok, expect dirty language (I have
a filthy mouth, therefor all my characters do too) and kinky sex (what can
I say, I'm a pervert) possibly some violence (I like blood, I'm just a
weird fuck) Anyway, On with the fic.
Shattered Innocence: Trunks' Deception
"Goten I'm sorry," Trunks said in a pleading tone. Goten lifted his tear streaked face and glared at his best friend. "Sorry just isn't good enough anymore Trunks. When we were kids, and something went wrong, you could fix anything with a rushed apology and a bright smile. Even when we were in high school it was amazing how quickly I would forgive you if you just said you were sorry. Well not any more Trunks. I'm done with all that now. I'm tired of being cute little Goten. I'm tired of people thinking, oh it's ok, it's just Goten, it doesn't matter if we screw him over. I'm tired of being so stupid, and so gullible, and so trusting. I refuse to be taken advantage of any longer. So Trunks, go ahead, tell me you're sorry one more time. I'll just laugh in your face and tell you I don't care. Because that's what you keep telling me over and over again every time you do this, you don't care. Our friendship doesn't mean anything to you. I'm just your safety net. The one you fall back on when there's no one else there. Well you know what Trunks, FUCK THAT. Because our friendship does matter to me. You always were the one who could make me hurt like no one else could. I always wondered why. It just seemed a little funny to me that every time you hurt my feelings, it felt like my world was crashing down around me. Oh the irony of it all Trunks." Goten stopped his tirade long enough to let out a crazed laugh before continuing. "Go figure. That question has plagued my mind for as long as I can remember. and guess what, I just figured out the answer. Damn you Trunks! GOD DAMN YOU! I love you, you stupid fucking bastard. Holy hell." Goten rubbed his red eyes with the heel of his hands. "Just stay away from me Trunks. Just stay the hell away. I never want to see your face again. Fate is a cruel bitch isn't it Trunks? Sucks to finally realize your soul mate is the one person you can't have." Goten looked at him for a moment longer before turning and flying away.
"Yeah it sure does." Trunks whispered into the darkness, knowing he had lost him forever, that this time he had finally gone too far.

"Just go talk to him Trunks please." Chi-Chi pleaded clinging to Trunks well-muscled forearm. Trunks looked down at the crying woman and sighed. "Chi-Chi, I told you, I'm the last person he wants to see right now. Have Gohan talk to him or something." "I've tried that already Trunks, he won't listen. Look, I don't know what happened between you two, but I do know that you are the only one who can help my little Goten." "Chi-Chi, it's not the transgression that matters, it's the apology that counts. And let's just say I already dropped the ball on that one, that is what caused this mess in the first place. Oh, and he's not little, not any more." With that Trunks got up and walked out of the small house that had once been the home of his closest childhood friend.
As Trunks arrived home in his small apartment, he was lost in thought. Everything around him reminded him of Goten, and it was slowly taking its toll. They had been friends since Goten took his first breath, but that was all through now. They had crossed a thin line that had torn their friendship apart. Trunks could still remember how it had all started back in high school.
~ Flashback ~
"Trunks we're friends right?" Goten asked hesitantly. "Right." Trunks said sounding a bit bored. "And nothing can change that right?" Goten asked again, this time with a little more conviction. "Right." Trunks repeated flopping down on his bed. "Not even if I told you my deepest darkest secret right?" Goten said persistently. Trunks lifted his head up a bit and glowered at his best friend, "Goten get to the point." He said in a harassed tone. "Okay, but just remember you asked for it. Trunks, I'm gay." Goten winced and waited. "Oh, okay," was Trunks' reply. "Okay, okay, I just told you I'm gay, and all you can say is OKAY!" Goten shouted. Trunks sat up and paused for a minute, "Me too. There is that better?"
Trunks watched in amusement as his best friend and secret crush dropped to the floor and fainted. He lay back down on his bed and began to count. 5...4.3.2.1. "What the hell. How come you never told me? How long have you known? Do you like anybody at school? Have you ever thought about me? Do you think I'm cute? I never told you cuz I was scared you'd think I was disgusting or something. I haven't really known for that long just a couple of months, and I've been dying to tell you. I think Timoko Nagasaki is the cutest guy I have ever seen. I thought about you one time and I decided we would never work as a couple cuz you think I'm so immature, and I think you're a jerk. But I do still think you're cute."
As Goten paused for a breath Trunks' mind worked frantically to find something to say. Goten thought they wouldn't work as a couple? Trunks felt his heart breaking into a thousand tiny pieces at the thought. As his mind reeled, he slowly came to the conclusion that his best friend was waiting for an answer.
"Ok, I never told you because I didn't think you needed to know. I've known for about a year. I don't like anybody right now. I've never thought about you and I together before, but yea, I would say you're pretty cute. Goten, I think your eating habits are disgusting, and nothing could be worse than that. I am glad you told me. Timoko Nagasaki?! What the hell are you thinking? That guy has to be the biggest homophobe I've ever seen. You're right you are too immature for me. And you didn't have to tell me I was cute, I knew that already."
"Hehehe," Goten giggled. "You sure know how to take a compliment Trunks."
~ End Flashback ~
Trunks sighed again. That's when his whole life had changed. That's when he had started destroying his best friend's life. It wasn't intentional, or at least it wasn't supposed to go that far. But things had gotten harder as the two teens had gotten older, and the same lies weren't good enough anymore. That's when Trunks had to take his performance to the next level.
The plan had started off innocently enough. It was back when they were still in High School, and Goten was dating his first boyfriend. Trunks had been blind with jealousy for several days after he heard the news. But then hot on envy's heels was a deep and forlorn sadness like he had never felt. He had stopped eating, stopped sleeping, and he wished that he could have stopped breathing. This went on for weeks despite his family's worry. Then one day an idea, an evil twisted idea, occurred to him, an idea that Trunks dearly loved. The next day he went to Goten and told him a completely fabricated story about how he had seen his boyfriend cheating on him. Poor Goten had been heartbroken, and Trunks had felt like quite the ass for causing his tears, but it was a small price to pay for Goten to be single again.
That was the first lie he told, but it surely wasn't the last. You see, Goten was an attractive guy, and so he always had boys clamouring for his attention. So Trunks was forever busy finding ways to shoo them off. Finally he decided when a simple lie wasn't enough anymore, that it might be worth his own skin to keep Goten off the market. He decided to seduce one of Goten's would-be partners. They didn't sleep together but they almost had. Goten was crushed. But as always Trunks flashed a bright smile and spurted out a glib apology, and all was forgiven. That had been the beginning of the end.
After that Trunks found no scheme too outrageous, no lie not worth the risk. He had done anything and everything not to bear the cross of watching his love with another. At the time he had been so caught up in his own emotions and motivations to notice what it was doing to the man he loved so desperately, the one he fought so hard to keep.
It was only after the two friends moved in together that Trunks noticed the change in Goten. He began to notice an extreme amount of rage bottled up inside the youngest Son. His choice of clothes began to change. He began eating less. He started to wear a small amount of make-up when he went out. And his choice in men had changed too. He had begun to hang around with a much wilder crowd.
Trunks felt a few tears sliding down his cheek and decided it was time to drown his sorrows in some jack and coke. He got up, grabbed his coat and headed for the nearest bar.
